"The man who loves me will be my safety-rope and draw me up," she said, gravely. Hardenberg laughed.
"No, no!" she exclaimed, wildly stamping with her feet; "that is a vile slander! Why should I choose precisely you for my safety-rope? -why reveal my soul to you? Do you not believe that those gentlemen who are using me against you, who worship and admire me, would not be ready to assist me?
He, of course, had untied the safety-rope, and as we were lying there quite comfortably and chatting, all of a sudden he was off. 'The devil! I shouted to the others, 'now the Vanishing Man has fallen down again! And we ran down the stairs as quick as we could. We weren't in a humor for any fool's tricks, as you may suppose.

"You suspect me, although I have revealed my heart to you as sincerely as I have ever revealed it to Heaven itself." "Foolish girl, how can I believe you?" he asked. "Have you not gone out into the world to plunge into adventures, and to seek your fortune? Have you not dived into the sea to find pearls? Can you wish me to play the agreeable part of your safety-rope that is all!"
